Computational sociology of knowledge as a tool for redesigning the knowledge system

This lecture blew my mind in the best possible way. It’s too late to reorientate Generative AI for Academics along these lines but I’m going to be spending a lot of time over the coming months engaging with James Evans and the work of the Knowledge Lab. Among other things I want to understand (a) what status the political economy of knowledge production has in this account (b) whether Archer’s account of cultural dynamics provides a theoretical framework which can bridge the description and explanatory aspects of this.

I didn’t catch who asked the first question but round of applause for this guy 👏

I’m a little concerned that you’re using AI as a band aid for structural problems in the incentive system which we should be changing instead of just accepting that we are lemmings and can only be unlemmingfied by accident and therefore AI has to step in to fragment us.
